EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures the historic moment as The Flying Scotsman, the iconic steam locomotive, begins its non-stop journey from Kings Cross station in London towards Edinburgh on September 30, 1933. With a powerful roar and a plume of smoke billowing from its stack, the locomotive pulls out of the station, marking the start of an epic 392-mile journey that would take just under eight hours to complete. The Flying Scotsman, a testament to the engineering prowess of its time, was the pride of the British railways. Its record-breaking run in 1934 established it as the first steam locomotive to reach an average speed of 100 miles per hour, making it a symbol of speed and innovation. This photograph, taken in the early days of railway travel, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the thrill of travel lay in the journey itself. The station, bustling with activity, serves as a stark contrast to the serene and empty landscape that would unfold before the locomotive as it sped northwards. As we admire this historical image, we are reminded of the rich railway heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us. The Flying Scotsman's legendary journey from Kings Cross to Edinburgh remains a significant chapter in the annals of railway history, a testament to the enduring allure of the steam age."
